Ocean Youth Trust South is delighted to be offering a day sail on Saturday 17 September, for ten local young people, organised through the Southampton International Boat Show, where the sailing day will start and finish.
Redbridge Community School, based very close to the Port of Southampton, has selected the students, aged 12-15, who will take part in the day.
Ocean Youth Trust South is a charity offering personal development through adventure under sail to young people aged 11-25, the majority disadvantaged or vulnerable in various ways. They operate a 105-foot sailing vessel, Prolific, based in Ocean Village, Southampton.
The charity sails with at least 450 young people each year, focussing on developing confidence, communication, teamworking, resilience and mental wellbeing. Most young people come for residential voyages lasting at least four days, but thanks to the support of SIBS 2022, the charity is offering a rare opportunity for a taster day for a school which has not previously been involved in voyages. While on board, the young people will be able to try steering, hoisting sails, using ropes and winches, navigation and more.
